If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

[@katehurstfamilyhistory]

The trouble with pies is the results are so dependent on the ingredients; a good steak pie (made with stewing steak or braising steak) or a good chicken pie can be amazing, but so often the frozen ones you get in the supermarket aren't made with the same quality of meat (or you get gristly bits), and it definitely makes a difference! My rough plan when I make them is to slow-cook the filling like a casserole, and only then (hours later) is it ready for a pastry case!

[@billymansterd4270]

I can’t get past the fact that Evan called baked beans a carbohydrate as part of the, ‘carb on carb action.’ I know this is nerdy but haricot beans (or baked beans) as well as all beans, are a protein. I like how this is what I found wrong with this... not that beans on toast should most definitely be in at least A tier, with the cheese pushing it up to S!

[@reneeschneider7864]

Exactly

[@apainintheaas]

[@alexthejustok]

Beans have about 2-3 times as much carbs as protein, and by itself it's not a complete protein, so I think it's solidly a carb

Evan. How can you rank a toad in the hole in D tier but Yorkshires in A tier. They are the same thing. In fact toad in the hole is even better bc it's just one absolutely giant Yorkshire pud slathered in gravy with some (cumberland) sausagey goodness too.

[@rebekahl840]

Yeah. Its like 2 things mashed togetehr

[@hanvyj2]

I'm from Yorkshire and Yorkshire puds are my favourite bit of a roast but I have to agree toad in the hole isn't that great. Yorkshire puds need to be light and fluffy (and much easier to make smaller) the sausages weigh it down and you always end up with a too thick chunk of soupy batter in the middle of a toad in the hole in my experience. Yorkshire puds should cook in hot fat, so they balloon up! Thin layers of crunchy, then light and airy batter! Maybe I've just had bad toad in the hole though.

[@fayewilliams1850]

I totally agree

[@ellef3478]

If you make it right Toad in the Hole is light and fluffy and the sausages don’t just sit on top like what that’s about they should be IN the hole 😤 a good Toad in the Hole is S class all the way.

[@anna-maymoon1001]

Evan, I'm a firm believer you need someone from the countryside to take you around the little pubs that have an amazing chef that do FANTASTIC beef welly and cakes etc. Bc you're in London and Londoners are more concerned with it looking flashy etc which yeah fair enough it has its place. (Patissery and fancy restaurants mainly) Edit/further clarification: I think the joy of British food comes from being on a long cold walk or helping in the allotment and then having a treat that's hot and stodgy. I honestly don't cook British classics during summer, I'm usually in for a stir fry or burgers etc but in winter is when you want potatoes and gravy with everything. I think the American equivalent is the sort of stuff cowboys eat (according to food network). Good, hearty meals for working all day.

[@amymiddleton1480]

Hate to break it to you Evan but even the sticky toffee puddings ‘without dates’ still almost definitely have dates in them, they’re just blended/mushed up into the sponge mixture!

[@centrifugedestroyer2579]

Thanks for complimenting our German cakes. If you're ever in my area you'll get a truck load of cakes made with my grandma's recepies : )

[@steventhetford1755]

With many of these, I think it may also be a bit of the case that Evan and friends are not the best at cooking said recipes (at least for a home cooked meal), as these meals can be quite unforgiving if made poorly. A Victoria Sponge for example, is just a plain regular cake, using a sponge that is quite common in cake recipes. If it's dry, it has likely been left out too long or baked too long. Though they are also known to be temperamental, which is why oven manufacturers use sponge recipes for testing the temperatures in ovens. One thing I've noticed about Yorkshire pudding recipes is that they often have one egg in the recipe, possibly because the recipe books came about when we were a bit more restrictive on eggs. I've found that three eggs causes your puddings to take off faster than a Northerner in London upon finding out about Tier 4. A good Yorkshire pudding recipe is the difference between making a hearty toad in the hole and a stodgy mess. Also, in my controversial opinion, a roast dinner varies greatly in quality depending on if the roast in question is beef, lamb, or chicken. And yet, Evan still has yet to actually try an actual cheese toastie (which is different to cheese on toast) which is a toasted cheese sandwich that has been pressed together. Even doyenne of middle class London Pret knows that! And finally, if you find beans on toast a strange idea, in Australia there is a popular children's treat called fairy bread: a buttered slice of white bread topped with sprinkles/hundreds and thousands. And is apparently delightful.

[@adlad75]

Definitely a fan of Pret's cheese toastie, although they've either done away with it, here in the US or rechristened it as a grilled cheese sandwich. :-o

[@fionagilbert2247]

I definitely agree about sticky toffee pudding, why ruin it with dates or raisins?!

[@Matty442]

Always so disappointing ): makes the texture so weirddd

I wouldn’t put raisins in mine but if you soak the dates properly then it’s amazing. Really makes the dish.

I am from the US and I used have Yorkshire Pudding every Thanksgiving and Christmas, I didn't know that people didn't know about it. That stuff is God tier. Unfortunately I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and can no longer have it since it relies on gluten for its texture.
